Building on the recent publication of the IPCC Working Group 2 Report roughly 100 on site participants and a further 200 online participants discussed the latest developments in climate impacts science from 16-19 of May 2022 at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). Hosted as a joint activity of the COST Action PROCLIAS and the Intersectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP), the workshop participants discussed the latest data, protocols and simulation experiments of the third phase of ISIMIP, different approaches to climate impact attribution, the challenging task of assessing cross-sectoral climate impacts as well how to communicate best to stakeholders.

The conference also featured high level keynotes by Johan Rockström, Catherine Senior, Jakob Zscheischler, Camille Parmesan and Brian O'Neill. Another highlight included the wide range of workshops and activities such as an expert elicitation to find plausible ranges for the hundreds of ISIMIP output variables or a high-level panel discussing the issue of hot climate models in the latest CMIP6 ensemble.
